Agree on the one engineer overpromising. But you can talk about a product without knowing how it’s built in finer details. But what can and can’t be done is the realm of engineering. Then the filtered list can be reduced by product to the ones that are inportant. So it’s actually a spiral: (product) here’s what I would like -> (eng) here’s how it can be done -> (product) let’s go with this one -> (eng) here is the plan -> etc…
